doc/HqnRIP_SDK_InterfaceRef.chm

This fully searchable MSHTML help file contains the Harlequin Core SDK Skin Documentation and is available as part of the release. This documentation is API-level reference documentation for the skin and is generated directly from comments in the source code of the skin.

The majority of the documentation is about the “skinkit” and “skintest” code modules. In addition, the documentation contains interface descriptions generated from header files from the core RIP interfaces, and from security and memory management interfaces.

When selected on the Windows Start menu, the HqnRIP_SDK_InterfaceRef.chm document is called RIP Interface Reference.

When selected on your Linux home directory, the HqnRIP_SDK_InterfaceRef.chm document is called RIP Interface Reference.html.

On Linux a third-party application is required to view .chm files.
